In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 2,180 gross tons, MV Antarctic Dream is the 56,766th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.7 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 32,161st by tonnage — larger than 35% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
Mongolia is the country of registry for 254 vessels in this directory, of which MV Antarctic Dream is the 134th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (152 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,466 GT. Browse every ship flagged Mongolia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 152 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Mongolia flag, of which 86 are larger by tonnage.
MV Antarctic Dream was built in 1959, making it 67 years old. It is one of 245 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 517 GT; within it this ship is the 32nd largest. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1 vessels to Haarlemsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij, Haarlem, Netherlands, with a median tonnage of 2,180 GT, delivered between 1959 and 1959. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 82.0 m overall, MV Antarctic Dream is 33.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 11.9 m and a draft of 4.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5278432 this registry holds 11 other vessels, whose median build year is 1954 and which range from 1896 to 1959. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1959.
Its IMO number, 5278432, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 2×6 + 7×5 + 8×4 + 4×3 + 3×2 = 132 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
